There's nothing better than seeing my childhood make a comeback. My Mom and Dad did birthday parties for me here back in the day. We also did many family nights with miniature golf and batting cages for little league. Now to see it make a come back full circle, so I can take my own son when we visit (moved to Vegas) is just awesome. They really put a ton of effort and money into this place to make it awesome. Nice thing to do after Disneyland on our way back to home. Definitely take your kid(s) and go!!! Th

Our first time here and had an absolute blast! We were celebrating my fianc?'s birthday and also moving on to a new chapter of our life after a rough past 3 years and this place was exactly what we needed. There's tons to do here, we did the Go-karts first which had about an hour wait, then laser tag, bumper cars, and the 3D ride which all were less than 20min wait (bumper cars and laser tag were our favorites). They also have bowling, ax throwing, batting cages, and a giant arcade with video games as wel

Okay first time in 15 years I'm back... First and foremost. Very very very expensive. Food and games are just crazy expensive. Be prepared to spend money. 2nd item is it's way to packed and over crowded. There is no crowd control and they don't check for each golf event. Miniature golf took over 2+ hours for 18 holes. Just waiting and waiting. Food was cold we got the sampler. Just a little disappointed but I understand they need to make money.

The pictures we saw online did not do this place justice. It has been completely renovated since the last online pictures I saw. The pizza, wings and fries were all really good. There's lots of activities for kids of all ages. There are rooms you can rent for parties or sports.

Nice but still under construction. When complete will be a great spot for family fun. Go carts are cool. $15 for a ride on them and $7 to have a passenger. Have a lot of packages to choose from. Bowling,bumper cars,mini golf.

It's open again! Went to the grand opening and it was Amazing. it may not be the same place we remember from "the last century" but it is every bit as fun and amazing for the Kiddos. They had finger foods and pizza, which although I did not trythe pizza everyone seemed to be saying good things. The new cart track is awesome, we did laser tag and some miniature golf. lots of smiles coming off the "Dark Ride." We will definitely be back to bowl and try axe throwing. Hey did I mention there's a bar? Th

Bullwinkle?s is back! Glad to see the new and improved Bullwinkle?s. Always was a fan of the Rocky and Bullwinkle?s theme. The pizza was good and sizes were generous. BBQ buffalo wings were on point! Arcade games point weren't outrageous 40 bucks went a long way. Didn't get a chance to try the go-kart track but my kids said it was a blast.

Pretty hectic during the weekend. The line for the race carts gets crazy long mostly because there's a 9 car on the tack limit unless you want to passenger a guest. Mini golf and laser tag was a hit with the kids bowling and axe throwing are separate. Attractions last a year if unused. Arcade is pretty small and prizes from tickets aren't really worth it but fun for kids that are not tall enough to ride rides! Wish they opened a little earlier but the staff are super friendly and patient especially that I

Would suggest this as a date night idea ??. Story book mini golf was great definitely think they should explain theres two courses so not everyone is on one course and not waiting on groups of 5 ppl to finish.

I'm so glad they have made a huge investment in updating this place. I have a lot of fond memories visiting this when it was the Family Fun Center. The updates are amazing and I had fun with my family and friends this weekend. There are still some areas that need some TLC such as the Storybook golf course and the bumper boats but I hope they make it happen soon.

Wow this place has changed so much. Looks so much better, bigger amazing games, bowling ,food. The UPGRADE WAS WORTH IT. from 1992 to 2024 different

So much fun!!!! This newly revamped Bullwinkle's is fantastic! It is truly great fun for the entire family! There is something to do for all ages!!!!! It is no longer just a place for kids, but for entire families! YAY!!!!!!

Bullwinkle?s is sooo back! Lots of upgrades to this family fun center attracting guests from all over! The park is in full effect and you can find lots to do with family and friends including mini golf, bowling, go karts, laser tag, arcade and much more. Food is good, but a bit pricey as expected. If you were familiar with the bumper cars at Boomers, it has become a much smaller section, but still fun for the little ones and there's still tons of other activities to enjoy. Definitely will be back!

Not your daddy's Bulwinkles. Salright, food was good and normalish prices, kids had fun, would return again, next time less crowded. Not again for a bday but good notes, staff is young but good, very kind and helpful 5* for them. Food 4* would like to see a salad option too but burger was tasty and pizza got that old skool chuck cheese vibe. Soda is Pepsi products, the sampler platter was good, wings are processed but the ranch slaps, onion rings were 5*, fries were 5*, mozzarella sticks were ok, oh yea, t

First time here and we had fun! We only played at the arcade, but all the games are functional and clean. We walked around the rest of the facility before we left. The go karts seemed worth it and we will return to do those when it isn't so hot. I was disappointed that the batting cages still weren't open, but I asked and they said the parts are back ordered.

The arcade was small but was still worth the price! We went twice but more for the golfing was around $15-$20 per person and the courses took an hour each! Was tons of fun we'd go again! Weather for a date night or fun with the kids it's a must try for all!

We had never visited this place, and we had the most amazing and awesome experience. Ezra And Elena helped us and they made this day. So special for us. They are great humble, amazing and polite. I love this place. I will definitely go again again.

They did a great job updating the place. We did ax throwing, laser tag, go cart, bumper boats, dark ride, and arcade. It was a great time. Since we went when they first opened, we didn't want to wait for anything. We will be going again and are thinking about doing the kids bday there. Great for all ages.

The renovations have really made this Inland Empire institution better than it was. It's so awesome to see it thriving again and all the old attractions coming back, with many new ones as well. The food is a good value for the price, not gourmet, but better than many places. The staff are friendly and attentive. Perfect place for birthdays, or just a fun day with the family.

I took my 19yo son to Bullwinkles to celebrate his bday along with my brother and two teen nephews. We ordered a cheese pizza, three burgers and mozzarella sticks. At first glance, the prices seem a tad high BUT the food was delicious and the portions were large. Definitely worth the price. Also, Jordan helped us at the table with service and she was super nice! We played mini golf and arcade games. It was a wonderful day. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Huish Family Fun Center?I mean, Bullwinkles!!! ??

Only like 6 soda fountain options, all tasted a bit off. There is no unlimited use for any attraction. Carts were slow and difficult for passing others. Arcade is a separate purchase. Pizzas were decent and that facility was clean.

I would like to say the owners did a fantastic job with the new renovations! I can't wait to see what they have in store next. This is an amazing place to bring your family and friends. I would like to add that on the weekends it tends to get extremely packed, so be prepared to wait to do any attractions especially if you come around the times 2-5 on Saturdays and Sundays. That tends to be their rush hour. So if you would like to come when it's less crowded, i do recommend going during the weekday. When i h

Didn't know the place was under major construction and renovation. There were none of the usual outdoor attractions available, like no go-kart racing and no bumper boats, bumper cars, and no rock climbing. Even the outdoor mini golf course was cut short a few holes, and the other side was not accessible. Loved the indoor mini golf course, and the arcade was good. Certain machines/games were unavailable because they weren't working. Attendants were kind and helpful and very polite. Prices for everything w

Had a great time. Will definitely be back. I guess it went through a renovation....loved it!

Kids) I liked it because it was really fun and the most I like the laser tag and if I had a choice, I will give it 10 stars not five stars. I recommend this place. I think that you should go there because there's a lot of games in there. Thank you, Bullwinkles for the great time with family. Father) I couldn't agree with my kids more. I definitely would recommend this spot. The min. Gulf course was pretty cool, way better than others. They have bumper cars, laser tag, food and venue for parties, and most o

Fun but Expensive and Crowded The newly remodeled Bullwinkle?s has a lot of potential, but it still has some major kinks to work out. The renovations look great?fresh paint, clean spaces, and updated attractions?but there's still a lot of dirt, machinery, and unfinished work around. Parking was a nightmare. We spent a long time waiting for a spot, and many people were just parking in the nearby shopping center and walking over. Once inside, the sticker shock hit hard. $100 for a family of four to mini go

I visited tonight...and I am disappointed. Tonight was massively crowded everywhere. Mass chaos everywhere and just a mess everywhere. When I heard about this place. I had bookmarked and did my research and was looking forward. I'm sad to report that I'm quite displeased. They had package deals for their attractions which seem to be a good deal...prices wise....but as it was my first time there, I did not want to overdo it. So I just wanted to sample the miniature golf because I suspected due to the ma

Celebrating our friends birthday and Anthony was very helpful. He is an AMAZING staff member. His hospitality was so welcoming and made my entire group and I feel welcomed. 10/10 WILL BE RETURNING AGAIN.

Haven't been here in forever but had a good time with my kid keep in mind it's still under construction but prices are good and there new go-kart track was fun

1st time we loved it! Bright, clean, and reasonable prices . Definitely planning on returning. Food was also tasty and fresh. The pretzel was delicious and Definitely worth the price.

Bullwinkle's is open again! They've done a GREAT job with the remodel. I am really impressed! I only gave 4 stars because it was so crowded (which is not really the fault of the business, but exciting for them!). As soon as I got there (4-ish pm on a Saturday), it was already the most crowded I had ever seen. The parking lot was COMPLETELY full, with a dozen or so cars trolling for a spot. The one we found was a miracle. It was so crowded that I only saw the main building (the westernmost building ne

This place was fun, nice that they renovated it and added a bunch of new stuff. My son and I went for a date night and had a blast. Prices are about what I'd expect them to be. The only thing I'm deducting a star for is because we played multiple rounds of laser tag and wanted to get some water after but we're disappointed to find out that there's only ONE place to buy water in the entire park and on a Friday night those lines get craaaaazy, which is why we had gotten there early. They should add some simpl

I had a very disappointing experience at Bullwinkle?s due to misleading information from one of their employees. Before purchasing tickets, Lilian assured me that my kids could ride as many times as they wanted. However, after just seven rides, I was suddenly told we had reached a limit and would have to pay more to continue. When I brought this up with Bella and Alejandra, they refused to acknowledge the mistake or offer any kind of compromise. Instead, they insisted I had to pay again, even though my pur

Highly recommend! A special recognition to Ricardo (I think) he was working the bumper cars and was extremely helpful, polite and patient with the kids. My little was too small to ride but he talked to him and helped me calm down a possible meltdown. The entire establishment was clean, huge and there was entertainment for all ages. The bigs did laser tag, go karts and littles enjoyed the arcade. The seating area was spacious and servers were on top of their game cleaning up and offering us service. We order

Great atmosphere. The owner was walking around and chatting with everyone, including our group. We even had a little hiccup with Axe throwing, but they were very accommodating.

Just move to Ontario,saw Bullwinkle's spot had to go in and checked it out,.awesome spot arcades, go carts,.an bowlingstill have to go back and explore more

Place is super unorganized. Half the arcade games don't work but they took our credits. The go cart was a 2 hour wait. Bumper cars are actually a joke. Bad selection of alcohol. Food was decent. Super disappointed. Better off taking kids to knotts or six flags.

There is indoor and outdoor mini golfing. We went during construction so we were not able to do cosmic golf. Great spot to take the family

First time here. Waiting to purchase tickets. Been in line more than 20 minutes and still 10 families back. Likely will nor return. Update: we waited 45 minutes to find out battings cages were not open. I looked online before we came, and hours were posted on the website, 3pm to 11pm. Not open until summer. We were all very disappointed. We rode the go karts. Those were a blast.

GREAT customer service from Valerie, my nephew was so excited. He lost his arcade card and she didn't even hesitate to help us out. We spent $400 in attractions and we were so disappointed when he lost the arcade card and somebody took it, used it and Valerie went out of her way to verify we lost it and replaced it. She really made our day. THANK YOU

I recently visited Bullwinkle?s in Upland for my daughter?s 7th birthday. We didn't book a party package since it was just me, my wife, and our three kids, but we still had a great time. As soon as you walk in, there's a large open area with three booths where you can purchase the cards needed for the attractions. We started with the arcade, which had a great variety of games at really reasonable prices?140 credits for $40. The only downside was that the card readers didn't always work. Sometimes we'd have

The attractions are fun, but way overpriced. I spent over 250 dollars for my two kids to play for 3 hours. We definitely will not be back. This place doesn't offer any day passes or season passes. I was informed by one of the workers that some of their card readers are old, so the cards have to be swiped multiple times. That means if you accidently get charged their is know way to prove you didn't. This happened to me. I bought a 7 attraction pass. My son did 5 attractions and I was told the card was empty.

We had fun there's a lot to do bowling, axe throwing virtual, mini golf, bumper carts, some arcade games, they need to redo the golf course is still the old one from before but still fun there's security which is good and safe for families

Go karts are too slow! If two adults drive Together Its even slower. Constant slow downs, specially when drivers go up the little hill. You can't even pass other drivers if you're really trying to race. I know it has to be safe but it was not this slow before the renovation. Fix it!

Me and my husband came here for the first time and celebrated our first wedding anniversary and we had a blast! Mini golf was fun but not the greatest

I used to come to this place back in the 90s as a kid and now 30 years later came to its grand opening of the new building in Dec 2024 and I was impressed and will be back. Renovated go kart tracks are great but my favorite was the indoor western golf course hands down the best mini golf course I ever played. Pizza was a bit over priced but surprisingly really good. I give it 5 stars all around.

Let me begin by saying that I am an adult man in my 30s. That being said, this place was fantastic. They have 4 mini golf courses (one of which is cosmic!), go carts, bumper boats, a few rides for the kids, batting cages, lazer tag and an arcade. I came here with a group of 5. It was a blast. They even have a place to eat. Mind you it's not great healthy food, but it's better than you might expect. Everything is pretty reasonably priced. The staff are great, too. Relaxed and professional. The only down side

Absolutely awful. Before I get to that so this is not lost. Daniel at the food window was one of the nicest people. Absolutely, amazing people work here. The staff was mostly kind. Helpful. Polite. It makes me so sad to write this review. Alondra, one of the managers, is a terrible, rude individual. Just awful. I explained what happened, and that my children were very hungry. Alondra?s response was to eye roll me. Seriously. Eye rolled me. Like I am an extreme inconvenience and annoying to her. She told me

Today we finally visited Bullwinkle's it used to be called boomers. So a lot of people know about this place. I'll be completely honest with you. I think it's pretty pricey for what it is. Indoor golf is just too depressing inside it's dark there's no music. They need to add led lights and get rid of the murals on the walls. Nothing inside is nice. I like the go-karts they are a lot of fun. The arcades need to be updated. I paid 36 dollars for 174 chips and each time we swiped the card it doesn't tell yo

So much fun. Went for my neices 13th birthday with the family. I even had a great time. There's a bar and adults can do the activities as well including bowling, laser tag, go karts.

The place looks nice since they remolded most of it but the price is a no go for me. It was $75 dollars for 5 people, and 3 go karts to use 3 times around the track. Bowling $100 per hr includes 6 people, and I believe shoes. Basically it will be really pricy if you have a big group. No season passes anymore.

Big update to the place. Go Karts were fast and new. Only half the golf course was open outside and the bumper boats were not open yet as of 1/18/25. The bowling lines looked great and will have to come back for them.

First time at new facility. It's not very well organized. Everything is squished together as soon as you walk in the door. Prices are okay I was amazed at restroom faucets. They have food and beverages which are pretty pricey. Went on a Saturday I'd advise you to do on a weekday unless you like crowds and parking lot was crazy full

Bullwinkles!! Now this place is cool, the concept has been updated to fit into modern times. While I do miss the old Bullwinkles from back in the day, everything eventually changes. However they have done a great job here and everything is clean and family friendly. It was very crowded when I went both times but thats totally okay, crowded just means they are doing something right and people like it! Had a great time and people of all ages will enjoy themselves here. Had the pizza and it was pretty darn goo

Bullwinkles is so awesome before and now AFTER the renovations? It's fun for adults and kids! They have more attractions than ever, it is clean and organized and so fun!!! I recommend this place for anyone to enjoy a good time day or night!!! can't wait for those batting cages and bumper boats in the summer!!! You'll be seeing me:) !!!

We had fun! did the 5 per pass and a game card. Inside golf was unique and different. Go carts were exciting, bumper cars needs less cars or bigger space still fun. Laser tag was cool, more team related. The vr was fun as well. The prices were as expected high like most entertainments. We ordered mozzarella sticks something happened to the buzzer so they gave us free fries with it to make up for faulty buzzer. Very crowded but we had a lot of fun as a family and we're TIRED when we left. I wish they had a B

I went to bullwinkles with my kids and had a blast. I took my kids on the bumper cars and an employee named Trent really made our experience extraordinary. He was so kind and made the ride exciting for my kids. Trent was also so helpful that anytime I had a question whether it was about pricing or hours he was on his a game and knew the answer right away. Definitely recommend going to Bullwinkles for family fun. My kids and I will definitely be going back! ????

I was excited to take my daughter once everything opened. We went on a Saturday around 5:30pm and the lines were insane. I feel like the lines need to be situated a little better. I then waited over 25 min in line to order a snack basket and they gave me a buzzer. I seen other people that had been in line before me still waiting for their food. I went to ask about my food and they said they were really busy. I went back up an hour later and my food was just sitting there because my buzzer never went off. I

It was so nice to see all the excitement on the kids faces, the employees were all so nice and accommodating. Although the parking was a mess, overcrowded, I suggest making more parking. Other than that it was a great experience

Spent over 130$ and it was just a waste. Too crowded, waited over an hour for food that was cold when we got it, mind you when we went to the counter we waited for 10 minutes to even speak to somebody. Then a staff member came out and pointed to wings that have been there since we were in line for 10 minutes. Our beeper never went off we had to go to the counter. It's literal kids running the store. Where is the mangers and adults. The kid who took our order said she doesn't even know how to count change, w

We have held several parties here and have always enjoyed ourselves. Our family has come here off and on for several decades. It is great that original owners are back and improving everything about it.

We have a LA speed zone season pass, which includes use and entrance to 3 other parks (including boomers!). We wanted to give it a try since it's closer to us. It was a hot day, but we went on the go carts which were fun to use. We tried going on the water karts but I didn't feel that safe going on them. The water looks pretty dirty and they don't seem to have that much energy. I'm giving it 3 stars because it needs maintenance. Most of the stuff looks pretty old on the outside. If you're trying to use the

For the prices to go up and the remodeling hasn't been finished yet, it seemed very disorganized, mini golfing outside was very unfinished. There was a lot of uncontrollable drunkenness, and I even called in when I saw a Drunken Male letting his kid run a Muck throughout mini golfing ?? ??

Overpriced and I don't recommend bringing ANY children under 42 inches there's nothing they can get on and you'll have to pay to be a passenger. Fyi if you have multiple kids you will be paying a fortune

This place looks really great, we went on a Saturday for a party. Only bad thing but it's a good thing that it was super packed! I'm glad to see places like this to their full glory.

Update newly remodeled bullwinkle's didnt meet my expectations... litetally half the arcade games dont work and the ones that do dont credit the tickets onto your card so make sure you check the kiosk to make sure they arent ripping you off. The cost for bowling is ridiculous !!! The bumper cars are a size of a 4x4 they only spin in circles do to the lack of space ... sorry but i wont be coming back this remodel did the orignial no justice . Save your money and take your kids to disneyland. Didn't know bul

Not happy w prices. Food and games that were available. Spent way too much for a valentines deal that really sucked. The drinks were not good. It's more like a place to eat pizza and nachos at after your softball game. The food and entertainment has to be like no other. It's not the same entertaining, exciting venue. Regular pizza hall very disappointed. Bullwinkles was so exciting before with puppets lights, shows, miniature golf, animated talking puppets. This was 20years ago so a newly remodeled modern

Bullwinkles: A Paradise of Paradox Nestled against the off-ramp of the 10 West, this at-first-seemingly-unassuming establishment gracefully toes the line between family fun and exciting escapade. Ignore the smell of gasoline or the sound of a multi-car pileup ? or, allow it to fuel a frenzy of adventure! You can choose from 1 functioning golf course or two partially running ones. They put the FUN in defunct! Or you can enjoy a delicious light beer to the cacophony of children screaming, adults screaming,

Even during construction, we had a fun time. I can't wait until the upgrades are completed. This area needs this family center to remain a staple of family quality time. I hope our community assist in rebuilding its popularity.

Just got out from my visit in this location. It's a bit disappointing ONLY on the arcades. The rest of the activities that are here are nice and huge, but the arcades, however, it didn't do so well. Most of the games are down, broken, and even unplayable to enjoy these types of experiences. It is a great upgrade for this location to have for bowling, laser tag, etc, but they'll need to do even better on the arcades. Plus, it will be wonderful to add more better prizes to make the value on the arcade points

We had a great time here today. The go karts track is lots of fun. The redesign is incredible!! The pizza was very good as well.

Grew up here and saw it slowly get run down. So happy to come back with my kids and see it being brought back to life. The staff was very nice and helpful and the food was delicious. Can't wait to come back for another family fun day.

NOT WORTH THE HASSLE!!. First time here and obviously learned the hard way a busy weekend isn't the best day to come , they are so disorganized it's beyond ridiculous. They need help with the kitchen and the food be given out. To wait over 1hr for food to never come out and when asking the kitchen staff they all our running around like chickens with their heads cut off just lost and no one helping at all, never got our food we will not be back it's not worth the hassle this place needs so much help with the

The waiting time is too long on each ride specially on the go karts, so if you want to ride this one be aware there is at least 45 minutes waiting time. Everything else is great, the staff kind of slow poorly train but ok. They try their best. Not a manager on floor the last 3 times I visit. At the laser tag, no one seems around you might have to go to the front to ask them to send someone, the boats close early as well as the laser tag. Check schedule for every ride before you visit, height is also an issu

You can definitely tell that a lot of money was invested into the renovation of Bullwinkle?s. Everything is brand new, and the community seems to be embracing it. As an avid customer of Dave & Buster?s, my main gripe is the fact that they do not have staff on hand that knows how to fix and work on games as they present a lot of problems. Other establishments will always have game techs, to handle any complaints on the spot. Bullwinkles lacks this, thus you find many machines out of order. They definitely ha

Been coming here for 10 years nothing has changed ,which is not a good thing ... the cosmic golf is still fun so are the go-karts, it is in my opinion a bit overpriced and I say this because we pay for the arcade and there's always games that don't work or if they do work they don't work properly like the basketball game for example you get the balls back but you can't see your score, the mini bowling is fun but usually there's like one lane that doesn't work. Plus a lot of these games are really outdated.

I'm old enough to remember this place as the original Bullwinkles, then Family fun center, then Boomers. I'm so happy Bulleinkles is getting a new life! This was my favorite movie lace to come as a kid, and today I got to bring my own kids. My 6 year old LOVED it. It's really good for this age group. It's just enough to keep them entertained without overwhelming the adults. They did do away with the larger arcade in the building with the indoor golf, that's now just indoor golf, but my kids thought cosmic

The Wild West mini golf course is probably my favorite course I've ever played. The newly designed scenes and decorations are amazing. We tried the go karts for the first time and it was really fun. The multi level course is great.

Love it here, have such great memories of this place as a kid and it definitely still was a fun place to take my family too..I hope more people can enjoy the activities here. Now that Scandia is gone..this is the best place for family fun.

Very nice & helpful staff. A fun variety of obstacles on the mini golf course with the option of inside cosmic course or outside traditional course. The security guard was cool too when it was 30 min past closing & we hadn't realized it, he even took a family photo for us at the castle as we were escorted out of the park ??

Had a great experience at Bullwinkle's. What was missing was the animatronic of old but replaced by widescreens that showed Rocky and Bullwinkles flix, football game and music videos from different generations, old and now. The arcade kept everyone busy with games to win tickets to a 3D attraction. The food was very good. We had pizza and appetizers. After lunch we played miniature golf and then went on the bumper boats. We didn't get a chance to drive the go carts but it is safe to say that fun was had by

Damn Bullwinkle's is expensive. They redid everything and increased the price significantly. To do 3 activities is almost 12$/activity but they last less then 10 minutes each. We skipped food here and got take out on the way home. Arcade games are very over priced and the ticket redemption prizes are very low quality. Overall, don't need to come again. We spent 500$ in 2 hours for 10 people.

We had a blast. Too many different activities to do. The kids love it.

I absolutely loved this place when I was a kid, and still love it as a young adult ??. Had so much fun with all of the new upgrades and improvements and can't wait for more memories to come

Update 3/4/2025 - bumping up a star, regardless of the construction, kids still love the place Update 11/2024. Its coming along. Definitely improved mini golf. Clearly they are under construction working on improvements. But the arcade games are not well maintained. Basketball and other games missing the basketballs. And other games missing required stuff

MULTIPLE GAMES NOT WORKING IN THE ARCADE, WAITED 20 MIN FOR GO KARTS FOR THEM TO JUST CLOSE IT DOWN MID DAY, FORCES EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO GET A CARD INSTEAD OF USING ONE CARD FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER. SAD BUT WE DIDNT EVEN CARE TO FINISH THE MONEY SPENT ON CARDS. STAFF WAS GOOD THOUGH, POLICY SUCKS

Nicely updated. Haven't been here in like 8 years. Was really busy on a Saturday of course but people seemed to enjoy it

Just took my son here for his Birthday! We had an amazing time. The whole place is under new ownership and the mini golf course was beautiful and well kept. We then did go karts on the new track where Lorenzo the track manager took really good care of us. It was a soft opening for the new track and we got to do a bunch of extra laps! So much fun! All at a very reasonable price as well. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
